Brief Summary
Helen Keller International (HKI), the ministry of health and population, and ministry of agriculture and cooperatives, of Nepal and local non-governmental organizations (NGO) partners are currently implementing a USAID funded Action Against Malnutrition Through Agriculture (AAMA) project in Baitadi district located in far Western development region of Nepal. HKI is undertaking this study within the AAMA project to test whether providing micro-nutrient powders (MNPs) in a programmatic context along with homestead food production (HFP) and an intensive community level Infant and Young Child Feeding Behavior change communication (IYCF-BCC) intervention will have a greater impact on reducing anemia and improving growth in young children than only providing the HFP and IYCF-BCC intervention without MNPs or a control with no intervention.
